Has anybody here switched out their power brakes for manual ones? the motor im running has such a big cam that im not going to have enough vacuum to run them anyway, and id like to clean up my engine bay some more.

 

yep many have, you can get parts for it at burkart chassis or TRZ motorsports

 

The manual master cylinder from a 1985-newer S10 also works great....

Do those have the 4 bolt hook up like the booster on my car has? ive never seen one.

 

No, the master cylinder looks exactly like your factory one. You will need to fab or buy a plate to mount to the firewall. Also, you will need a pushrod to connect to the brake pedal. If yuo can find a manual brake S10 in the junkyard, everything is already there including the mounting plate and the pushrod.

Thanks

 

you will need an adapter from one of those 2 places I listed..

I bought there kit and seems to fit well. I have not gotten my car running again yet but a friend of mine that has a 89 has the same kit and he stops just fine. His car runs low 10's.

 

That looks like a plate to go from manual to power, i want to go from power to manual.

EDIT: OK i was looking at it backwards, I see how it works now.

 

I'm new to this site, and yeah this is an old thread ,anyways...
Will those adapter plates from TRZ and Burkhart work with the stock s-10 manual cylinder? or only those chrysler style ones

 

Would I like going to manual breaks on my GTA? Is it going to be really hard to push the pedal? I just want to hear some thoughts on how well everyone likes it over power. Im having the same issue..big cam..
